Blane Chocklett’s Game Changers take a variety of fish, including mega-sized striped bass.
I’ve been working with House of Fly and The Fly Project for a year or more and wanted to direct you to one of my most recent contributions to their media library, a profile of Blane Chocklett and his series of flies called Game Changers. These flies require many steps to tie, but the outcome is a fly that swims better than all others. I’m not the most capable fly tyer, choosing instead to spend my hours on the water, so you won’t see any Changers coming off my vice anytime soon. But, I have as secret weapon . . . I just go to House of Fly and buy the Game Changers that look best to me. Check them out online or twist and tie a few. Big browns. Hungry rainbows. Even cutthroats smack down on these.
